4. If the outdoor unit is being replaced due to a compressor burnout,
then installation of a 100% activated alumina suction-line filter
drier in the suction-line is required, in addition to the factory
installed liquid-line drier. Operate the system for 10 hours. Monitor
the suction drier pressure drop. If the pressure drop exceeds 3
psig, replace both the suction-line and liquid-line driers. After a
total of 10 hours run time where the suction-line pressure drop has
not exceeded 3 psig, replace the liquid line drier, and remove the
suction-line drier. Never leave a suction-line drier in the system
longer than 50 hours of run time.
